Do you offer warranties on your work?

How long does it take to install a new garage door?

A standard garage door installation typically takes 3-5 hours. This includes removing the old door, installing the new door, setting up the opener system, and testing everything for proper operation. More complex installations or custom doors may take longer.

Can you repair all brands of garage doors and openers?

Yes! Our technicians are trained to work on all major brands including LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Craftsman, Wayne Dalton, Clopay, Amarr, and many more. We stock common parts for quick repairs.

Is it safe to repair a garage door myself?

We strongly advise against DIY garage door repairs, especially for springs, cables, and bottom brackets. Garage door springs are under extreme tension and can cause serious injury or death if mishandled. Even seemingly simple repairs can lead to safety issues if not done correctly. Please leave repairs to trained professionals.

How can I maintain my garage door between service visits?

Regular maintenance extends the life of your garage door. Lubricate hinges, rollers, and tracks every 6 months with a silicone-based lubricant. Visually inspect springs and cables for wear. Test the auto-reverse safety feature monthly. Keep tracks clean and free of debris. If you notice any issues, call us for an inspection.

How often should I have my garage door serviced?

We recommend having your garage door professionally serviced at least once a year. Regular maintenance helps prevent costly repairs, extends the life of your door and opener, ensures safe operation, and can identify potential issues before they become emergencies. In the Coachella Valley's extreme heat, more frequent inspections may be beneficial.

What are signs that my garage door springs need replacement?

Common signs include: the door feels heavy or won't stay open, visible gaps in the spring coils, the door opens unevenly or crooked, you hear loud banging noises when operating, or the door won't open at all. Springs typically last 10,000-20,000 cycles (about 7-10 years of average use). Never attempt to replace springs yourself as they're under extreme tension.
